Hello Stranger - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Hello stranger

Yeah I know it’s been a while since you walked with me

Had a talk with me with the honesty that I favored

Oh hello stranger

What a sight for sore eyes, you’re right before mine

I thought that I lost you

I need you to promise never to leave me hanging

My own reflection can’t be trusted these days

I’ve seen him running away

So I broke that mirror and I threw it away

Unfamiliar faces in my own complexion

My jaded eyes are blind to acceptancе

And I don’t ever find a reason to changе

So you know

I’ve been through it all (I’ve been through it all)

And still I know (And still I know)

Because of what I’ve done

I just can’t live this way

I’ve been through it all (I’ve been through it all)

And still I know (and still I know)

Because of what I’ve done

I just can’t live this way

Hello stranger

Yeah I’m sorry that I haven’t been in touch at all

I’ve been off of the wall and out of reach

Putting myself in danger

Oh, hello stranger

No, I don’t wanna leave you behind

‘Cause I need you in my life to survive

So don’t leave me again

'Cause you know how that pain hurts

My own reflection can’t be trusted these days

I looked him dead in the eyes and said you better not lie

Part of living your life is evading the day you die

We can make it through the race to the end of the finish-line

Without hitting the breaks or stopping to see the sights

Because whether you hate it or love it everything changes

I’ve been through it all (I’ve been through it all)

And still I know (and still I know)

Because of what I’ve done

I just can’t live this way

Hello stranger
